Rodney Bay Marina:
Rodney Bay Marina is truely a yatchsman's haven. It is the official port of entry with immigration and customs' offices. It is a full service facility with 232 berths, each with individual meters for electricity and water. The best endorsement for the Rodney Bay Marina is the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers or ARC, the largest transoceanic race in the world. With more than 200 participating yachts. Rodney Bay has been the finishing line for the ARC for the past 16 years; testiment to the level of service that is unmatched anywere in the Caribbean.

Within the Marina complex there are restuarants, banks, a supermarket, car rental and a host of other amenities you would come to expect from a premiere facility. The dry dock facility accommodates up to 120 boats, with on-site workshops for wood, fibreglass, aluminum, stainless steel and bronze. Dute free fuel is available for outgoing boats and there is a well equipped duty free chandlery on site.

Vigie Creek:
Vigie Creek (near GFL Charles Airport) and the Castries City are the harbour's two main anchorages. Services include repair and replenishments facilities, hardware shops, restaurants and the capitals open-air market. Vigie is the more secluded of the two anchorages. When entering Castries Harbour, it is necessary to avoid the shoal that extends to the west of Tapion Peak. Vigie Hill has a is equiped with a light that flashes every 10 secs allowing you to easily identify the harbour at night. Castries harbour does not have customs officials, but it is easier for yachtsmen to clear through Rodney Bay or Marigot. Officials insist that yachts entering the habour come directly to the Custom's dock (if there is no room, anchor east of the Customs bouy). It is wise not to ignore this directive as a fine could be incurred.

Marigot Bay:
Marigot Bay has been photographed so many times, that first time tourists often experience a jolt of recognition. Not surprising. This peaceful landscape of swaying palms and sparkling clear water also caught the eye of film makers who used the bay as a location for the filming of the original Dr Dolittle starring Rex Harrison in 1967.
